pi-cloud -- v2.0.0

[2.0.0] - 2026-08-30

I realized this project has grown beyond a simple WebUI for pi-coding-agent. It now includes an expanding set of useful features, so I’ve renamed the project and released it as a major new version.

Added

• Added persistent PDF annotations with drawing, highlighting, shapes, text, moving, erasing, undo/redo, automatic sidecar saving, and annotated PDF export.
• Added Markdown-to-PDF downloads and creation of workspace PDF copies that can be annotated.
• Added custom OpenAI-compatible API providers and Cloudflare Workers AI support, including model discovery and image-capability selection.
• Added provider authentication status and disconnect controls for locally detected API keys, OAuth sessions, and subscriptions.
• Added Markdown preview outlines, HTML rendering in Markdown previews, archive content previews, file-type icons, and full-path copying from editor tabs.
• Added light/dark theme toggle controls and PDF viewport fit controls.
• Added split diff views, collapsible files, per-file statistics, and expand/collapse controls to commit previews and Git history.
• Added WeChat account unbinding and country reporting for successful proxy checks.
• Added a preference to delete sessions without confirmation and reload recovery for stale frontend assets after updates.

Changed

• Renamed Pi WebUI to Pi Cloud, changing the npm package and executable to pi-cloud, environment variables to the PI_CLOUD_ prefix, and default configuration, database, and service names and paths.
• Recent project history is now stored per agent profile in the server database instead of browser storage.
• PDF previews now render only nearby pages for improved performance.

Fixed

• Fixed PDF annotation resize handles so dragging them resizes annotations correctly.
• Hid built-in API-key providers when a custom provider with the same ID overrides them.
• Fixed session sidebar message counts and stale-asset reload errors.

pi-webui -- v1.0.6

[1.0.6] - 2026-08-27

Added

• Added a paginated Git history viewer with commit metadata, change statistics, and per-file diffs.
• Added PDF previews in the editor with page navigation and zoom controls.

Changed

• The Git changes panel now identifies non-repository folders and disables unavailable Git actions instead of showing a Git command error.

Fixed

• Fixed published npm package dependency metadata to use resolvable versions instead of pnpm catalog references.
• Prevented the Ctrl+E editor shortcut from also triggering keyboard handlers on selected messages.

Full Changelog: v1.0.5...v1.0.6

pi-webui -- v1.0.5

[1.0.5] - 2026-08-27

Added

• Added a Git changes panel, shown by default, with changed-file navigation, per-file diffs, and shortcuts for common Git actions.
• Added collapsible pin groups for organizing, moving, and unpinning agent-profile and review-source sessions.
• Added a project history tab with last-accessed details, session counts, and confirmed removal of saved session history without deleting project files.
• Added an option to generate commit messages from and commit only staged changes.
• Added PI_WEBUI_ENABLE_SYSTEM_OPEN for enabling Open with system tool through trusted non-localhost URLs.

Changed

• Reduced the initial session page from 30 sessions to 10 and limited pull request status refreshes to the visible page for faster session loading.
• Lazy-load heavy interface features such as the editor, terminal, settings, memory center, and task queue.
• Local LLM endpoints outside the loopback interface must now be explicitly allowed with PI_WEBUI_LOCAL_LLM_ALLOWED_ORIGINS; endpoint credentials and redirects are rejected.
• Database schema updates now use tracked, transactional versioned migrations.

Fixed

• Ensured newly created sessions use the explicitly selected agent profile.
• Improved virtual diff formatting with clearer file headers and correct multi-file navigation and line tracking.
• Hardened path validation for session relocation and project moves, and stopped the file tree from traversing symlinked directories.
• Hardened URL and rendered HTML handling, including host validation, heading sanitization, and attribute escaping.
• Open files safely on Windows without invoking a shell.

Fixed

• Respect PORT and HOST values from ~/.config/pi-webui/.env when the CLI starts Pi WebUI, while preserving explicit CLI option precedence.
• Open home-relative (~/) file links from chat in the editor instead of resolving them against the workspace.
